Does anyone know of a good bar in this town where you can throw steel tip darts?  It seems like every dart board I have seen in this city are all plastic tip.  What gives?

A few years ago a friend who was involved in a very successful dart league in Athens, Georgia and I did a diligent search for bars with real darts and never found anything.

Wish one of our downtown/Springfield/Five Points clubs would take advantage of that opportunity....

I was also surprised when I moved to Jax and was unable to find a steel tip league. Soft tip darts are crap.

^^ maybe we need to present a league to a few bars in town and see if we can get them to hang a few boards.  Even ask if they are willing sponsor a team, by giving them ownership of the board for a few hours a week and reduced drinks for league players during those hours.

Out of curiosity, how many logging onto this web site would be interested?

I play both, so yeah, I would probably be interested, as long as it was not too far outside of DT.  ;)

All of the bars in my previous leagues benefited from guaranteed people coming in every Mon and Tues night to drink for a few hours. If it's close to DT, I'm in.

If I was an insurance man I would probably not like the mixture of alcohol and sharp pointy things flying around.

Its more becuase when you are drunk and you miss horribly you zip a sharp pointy thing into the dry wall, and eventually you have a ton of holes in a wall

If your missing that bad, you shouldn't be throwing.

When I originally started this thread, I was't as clear as I should have been.  I work downtown and live at the beach.  It is those two areas and in between that I was looking for a place to throw.  Unless it was for league play, then I would be willing to roam the Jax Metro area.
